Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"Chufu~"

"Jin Liu entered the palace?"

Liu Hongxun's face was calm. He looked at the people who walked into the main hall. His words were indifferent and determined. The conversation with Jin Liu lasted for a long time. Liu Hongxun pretended to be negotiating. This actually made Jin Liu unable to sit still. After all, Liu Hongxun was here. Fan went to the court with the intention of canonizing him, which made Jin Liu want to report the matter to Li Zhu as soon as possible.

However, Liu Hongxun was too calm and patient.

So much so that until the end of their conversation, Jin Liu found an excuse and left.

It was precisely because of Jin Liu's lack of composure that Liu Hongxun could see a lot from it. A small country was a small country after all, and its background was of little significance.

North Korea is imitating the Ming Dynasty in everything, but it doesn’t look like it at all!

This is Liu Hongxun’s intuitive feeling about vassal Korea.

This is by no means Liu Hongxun's own arrogance and prejudice, but an objective evaluation and conclusion based on his two missions to North Korea to ascertain some conditions in North Korea.

The last time he went to court, Li Hui was in power. This time he went to court, it was Li Zhu who was in power. Perhaps in that palace, in that royal court, in that royal capital... too many people were replaced. It was lost, and many things were replaced along with it, but some things remained unchanged.

This is Korea, the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

There are many internal factions, the royal court is constantly fighting, the class contradictions are sharp, and the land annexation is serious... Although all of this is covered by Li Zhu's strength, the fact that it has not broken out for the time being does not necessarily mean that it will not break out in the future. This is why Li He obviously valued Ming's canonization, but on the surface he pretended not to care.

"Just as Mr. Ge guessed, even though Jin Liu took a long detour, the final place he went to was still the palace." The man who came in raised his hand and bowed.

"It seems the heat is almost done."

The corners of Liu Hongxun's mouth turned up slightly, "Send someone to rush this secret letter to Dongjiang Town and tell Mao Wenlong that the Jeju Town designated by His Majesty can be short of everything else, but the Chief Military Officer Chen Jisheng must let it go. Jeju Island is no better than Phi Island. This place is further away from our Ming Dynasty. If there is no general in charge, even if it is taken over by our Ming Dynasty, it will only be taken over in name, which will go against His Majesty's wishes. "

"Mr. Ge, is this too fast?"

After hearing this, the man stepped forward to take the letter from Liu Hongxun. There was hesitation in his brows, and then he expressed his worries, "After all, I haven't seen King Li Zhu of Joseon yet. If it is at this time, Dongjiang Town will Is there any action that will irritate Li Jie?”

"I just want to stimulate him!"

Liu Hongxun said with a half-smile: "Trespassing is tampering. This is a fact that he cannot deny in any case. It is precisely this that makes Li Zhu inevitably affected by this aspect when he encounters some things."

"This person is always so weird. The more he denies something, he even does extreme things, trying to scare all parties, but in his own heart, he is particularly concerned about his denial.

The person who heard this seemed to have thought of something in his heart.

"After this matter is settled, I will invite those people over."

Liu Hongxun stopped his smile and looked at the man and said: "Whether the Ming Dynasty communicates with North Korea or not, the Ming Dynasty must take the initiative. Doesn't Li Zhu care about the rules? Okay, then I want him to take a good look at it. The rules of vassal Korea need to be decided by the Ming Dynasty, not by him, the king of Korea! "

Originally, Liu Hongxun wanted to save some face for Li Zhu. After all, the current king of Joseon was Li Zhu. Perhaps the Ming Dynasty had not yet fully recognized it. However, out of etiquette and religious considerations, Liu Hongxun did not think of taking any drastic action.

But the arrival of Jin Liu this time made Liu Hongxun determined, because he saw through this incident that Li Zhu was an ambitious person. The more he was in this situation, the more he would suppress Li Zhu. Otherwise, , one day he leaves North Korea, the finalized matter may also be denied and overturned!

Liu Hongxun absolutely could not accept this happening.

The relationship between countries is so complicated and tortuous. The relationship between the suzerain country and the vassal countries may have been finalized from the beginning, but if you want the vassal countries below to obey, you still need strength to intimidate them.

The current Ming Dynasty is not as strong as before, so if you want to achieve some results, you must use both force and softness to promote it.

You can call the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty pedantic, old-fashioned, and stubborn, but you can never criticize them, especially the liberal ones among them!

……

Just when Liu Hongxun was at the mission hall, planning what to do next, the North Korean palace at that time showed another situation.

"Is what you said true?"

Li Zhuo looked surprised, leaned forward, and stared at Jin Liu with his eyes: "Did the envoy really say that? This time I went to the court with an order, did the superior court intend to canonize me as the king?"

"Yes."

Jin Liu nodded repeatedly and said: "Although the envoy only mentioned a few things and did not talk about it in the subsequent conversation, according to my observation, the envoy's meaning is very clear, that is, he has the will to enthrone the king. !”

OK! !

When Li Zhu heard this, he clenched his hands subconsciously, and the excitement between his eyebrows could not be concealed. If this was really the case, it would be extremely beneficial to him!

"If that's the case, then I, the King, will immediately..." Thinking of this, Li Zhu instinctively said to Jin Liu, but as he spoke, Li Zhu stopped.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter should be postponed for a few days."

Jin Liu hurriedly raised his hands and bowed: "Welcoming the special envoy of the previous court is a major event for our court. There must be no sloppiness, let alone any omissions. Otherwise, this will be disrespectful to the previous court."

"Yes."

Li Zhu quickly understood Jin Liu's meaning, and then said to Jin Liu: "You will be responsible for this matter. In five days, no, three days later, I will personally welcome the envoy at the palace gate!"

"Here!"

Jin Liu immediately bowed and bowed.

If you say it's preparation, it's just to find a reason for pretending to be ill. You can't say that if you reveal information that is beneficial to you, your illness will be cured immediately. Isn't this deceiving the court?

Once such an impression is formed, subsequent contact becomes difficult to predict.

Li Zhu had exactly this in mind, so when he said that he wanted to meet Liu Hongxun, he stopped abruptly. Jin Liu saw this, so he found such a reason.

But at this moment, Li Zhu was thinking about one thing. If he had told such a thing in the first place, why would he choose to pretend to be ill?

The benefits in this world can always be exchanged. If no agreement is reached, it can only be said that the benefits have not been provided!

As long as the offer is in place, anything can be discussed! !
